I really like this, especially at the larger sizes.

I like the E.B. White quote too.

Current spacing gives it a very 'clean' look and works well in my view.

Gave it a swift 10 to counteract the 1 from the troll :)

Whoever rated your work as 1.0 either made a technical mistake (very doubtful), or expressed his/her strong disapproval. What on Middle-Earth could excite someone on this perfectly designed, elegant type face to take such measures, I could not tell. I could only speculate, that you might have stepped on someone else's toes by creating a very similar font. Well, Hooligan is a nice variation on the tall, narrow serif theme (see Pacific Serif Light by Max Kisman, 2002), but a brief inspection can tell it is different enough to exist in its own right. Thus, my verdict is 10/10.

Elegance, squared-off. Very pleasant results.

nice. clean. interesting serifs. a sleek design. a winner :) i think this could be a useful example for Starflyer Demo 1 as a font done in FS that could be used for sci-fi projects and it's serif :) great job.

Very readable serif, congrats. Maybe I would have made a round @, but this is not my font.

If Frank Herbert had asked me to do the cover for Dune, I would have used this one for sure :)

My thought on spacing is serifs invade whitespace, therefore non-serified letter combination like the oo seem to have more space between each o than the space between the li, for example.
I know they are geometrical exact but visually different, so what I would do in FS to correct this is have all non-serified sides of the font slightly closer than serified sides. This is much easier with the filter set at 2, so you can take advantage of half brick positioning (if such term exists). Lately if I´m not going for a pixel font, I set them at 2, should the need arise.
I know remapping 200 chars. to a Filter 2 grid is quite tedious, so you may come with a lighter solution.

@afrojet: LOL! Kerning by hand in this case is more than worth the extra effort. This type of fontstruction just begs to be brought into FL/TypeTool for kerning pairs, etc. To me, this one weds a compressed modern face with the angularity of Berthold City. Even when typographers draw from the same wells of historic inspiration, the unique forms they create will happily stand on their own while being rooted firmly in typographic traditions. Working in the same mode while cloning another fonts metrics is another question (<·_<· looks in the direction of Arial).

Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “Hooligan” is now a Top Pick.
